Installation

With the exception of the Python header files, these can all be found in requirements.txt. On Debian-based distributions, run sudo apt-get install python-dev. On Red Hat-based distributions, run sudo yum install python-devel. After that, just pip install -e .. You may need to prepend that with sudo if not running in a virtual environment, but using such an environment is highly encouraged.

Automated Execution (Optional)

Cron can be used to automate the execution of Maltrieve. The following example is provided to help get you started. It will create a cron job that will run Maltrieve every day at 2:01 as a standard user. That said, we recommend enhancing this by creating a custom script for production environments.

Ubuntu

As a user, execute

crontab -e

If installed normally, add the following to the end of the file.

01 02 * * * maltrieve <optional flags>

If downloaded to a folder and executed, add the following to the end of the file.
